found=False
eid=int(input(“Enter employee id to update their salary :: “))
while True:
try:
rec=__ #Statement 3
if rec[“Employee id”]==eid:
found=True
rec[“Salary”]=int(input(“Enter new salary :: “))
pickle.__ #Statement 4
else:
pickle.dump(rec,fout)
except:
break
if found==True:
print(“The salary of employee id “,eid,” has been updated.”)
else:
print(“No employee with such id is not found”)
fin.close()
fout.close()
